A Newspaper Report
Read the text carefully ,then do the activities below
More Americans get their news from the Internet than from newspapers or radio, and three-fourths say they hear of news via e-mail or updates on social media sites, according to a new report.
Sixty-one percent of Americans say they get at least some of their news online, according to a survey by the Pew Internet and American Life Project.
That's compared with 54 percent who say they listen to a radio news program, and 50 percent who say they read a national or local print newspaper.
Almost all informants, 92 percent, say they get their news from more than one platform.
"In the digital era, news has become omnipresent. Americans access it in multiple formats on multiple platforms on myriad devices," reads the report, based on a survey conducted in December and January. "The days of loyalty to a particular news organization on a particular piece of technology in a particular form are gone."
Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have made news a more participatory experience than ever before, the surveysuggests.
People share links to news stories by e-mail, post articles on their Facebook and other networking feeds and tweet them on Twitter -- often following up by discussing the articles on message boards and other sites.
